I am confused. Some websites say that the headquarters are in Cyprus, so this is a Greek company, some other says that it is in Moscow. Why is that? Are there multiple headquarters? Why is there no mention of Moscow on their website "About us"?
External link →Originally they were Moscow based. At some point they moved their HQ to Cyprus. During the development of WotR dev-team inculded people from at least Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.
Our headquarters had always been in Cyprus, with developers working from multiple countries. A lot of developers were located in Moscow until recently, but now many of us are relocating to Cyprus, Armenia and other places. If there was anything good in the pandemic, it is that it gave us a plenty of experience in coordinating and working on our projects online from multiple locations, so we can continue to create games for you guys.
I'll share this from the recent interview with Owlcat:
https://www.gamespace.com/all-articles/news/pathfinder-wrath-of-the-righteous-interview-dlc/
"As for the studio itself Owlcat Games was originally established as an international company and we had employees all around the world. After the pandemic started and the team switched to remote work the process of relocation started almost on its own. Right now we are actively helping our employees to move to different places like Cyprus, where our HQ is located, a new office in Armenia and other European countries where they can focus on work and creativity. We already have successful experience of decentralized and remote work for the last two years and we believe that the team will continue to create great games further."
So the company is headquartered in Cyprus, but what is unsaid here is that a good number of employees are Russian. However, under the "actively helping employees move to different places," I took that to mean that they are actively working to move their Russian staff to their other offices.
Correct.
